I think the main problem of how 4NF and 5NF formal definitions were taught is that essentially common sense (which is mostly "sufficient" to understand 1NF-3NF) starts to slip away, and you start needing the mathematical background that Ed Codd (and others) had. And trying to avoid that is how those weird examples came up.

They can easily get away with soccer because everyone is glued to the match. Tennis? Eh. Golf? No way.

- Half the country or more just doesn't work or do anything else when there's an important match anyway.

- There's a big intersection between "people that doesn't care about soccer" and "people that knows how to use a VPN"

- Matches are usually at night, past 7pm. It's well after the average citizen work hours.

- There's not really huge internet companies there that can lobby the other way around (e.g. infrastructure collapse because of the block).

So in short, the ruling is incredibly stupid because they're allowed to do so, save for the vocal minority, the vast majority of the population doesn't care: they're watching the match.

Also, power corrupts. That's a tale as old as time, I have found no evidence that somehow tech-bros are immune to it.

- Claude Chat: built like it's 1995, put business logic in the button click() handler. Switch to something else in in the UI and a long running process hard stops. Very Visual Basic shovelware.

- Claude Cowork: same but now we're smarter, if you change the current convo we don't stop the underlying long-running process. 21st century FTW!

- Claude Code: like chat, but in the CLI

- Claude Dispatch: an actual mobile client app, not the whole thing bundled together.

- Daemon mode: proper long-running background process, still unreleased.

I mean, if that's where your confidence comes from...

You wouldn't believe the amount of people that would list Github, but not git, as a skill.

it's almost like if the thing is not intelligent at all and just another abstraction on top of what we already had.

Men haven't evolved to be overly attached to babies or small kids like mothers did - that'd have been a weakness in the survival race. Men skills were completely different, usually related to being away from the kids most of the time.

Translate to modern day, that is men not really wanting to have kids (sometimes just going along with the wife's biological clock), and pretty much "feeling nothing" when the kids are born. There's a million documented examples of that.

However, once kids leave the "little puppy" phase and grow beyond the basic needs care that mothers provide, it's when the fathers start to really relate to them.

If your older kid is maybe 5-6 you're about to start that new phase. That's what happened to me, and I find (maybe not so extreme) examples of that on almost every guy I talk to.

Give it a second chance, maybe having kids is just not for you. But don't assume it's already the case, you may miss out whole new world.

Getting competent at it, however, is no joke and takes time.

I don't think it changed much from before LLMs. it's just that the slop is now automated.

- Scripts that sound more like an HR meeting than a good story.

- Blockbuster superhero movies that are all the same movie.

- Lots of remakes that added modern CGI flare and destroyed the artistic value of the original.

- As consolidation of studios happens, way more "safe" stories that aim to not offend anyone. I think the only one able to get away with it right now is Tarantino.

Prices, streaming, theaters, etc. -- they're all accessory to the problem. People went to the movies for enjoyment, why would they go to endure them? There's no cultural collective experience anymore in the sense of going to see Lord of the Rings or Matrix with your friends for the first time.

Also this is happening throughout all media. Music and video games have the same kind of discussions.

This may work in the case the maintainer becomes aware of the compromised account/credentials/package before the cooldown period, otherwise if it's about vendors and "other people", it's a roll of the dice. They may have longer cooldown periods than you.

Then we absolutely need an override for the cooldown period when we have to pull a zero-day patch the moment it's released.

The only reason cooldown periods haven't been exploited it's because they're not widely utilized. If they become mainstream it'll take a couple weeks to be rendered useless (yes this last part is 100% futurology)

This is a classic. I'd say that for every company, big or small, ends up taking the #1 spot on technical debt.
